The reality of pursuing an Olympic dream w. former Team Canada skeleton athlete, Cassie Hawrysh
Cassie Hawrysh is a former Team Canada Skeleton athlete, media personality, and speaker. This episode begins with Cassie sharing her journey of starting new sports later in life, managing mental health on the road, and tips for anyone pursuing their dreams and then dives deep into a conversation on the reality of sport funding and what Canadian athletes go through to represent Team Canada at the highest levels - a conversation that was sparked by the recent strike and protests by the Canadian Women’s Soccer team. We share our thoughts on what is broken within the Canadian sport systems and NSOs, our past experiences, as well as a discussion on how that lead to Cassie walking away from the sport and how she managed that transition into what she does now and more importantly, who she is now.
